A Russian attack in eastern Ukraine killed 47 people. The attack took place in the village of Groza in the embattled and war-torn Kharkiv Oblast.
According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, 47 people were killed in a Russian attack on the village in the northeastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv. A rocket hit a supermarket, he wrote on Telegram.
More than 26,000 missing since the invasion
According to Kiev, thousands of people have disappeared “under special circumstances” since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, including 11,000 civilians and about 15,000 military personnel. “At this moment, more than 26,000 people are wanted and considered missing,” Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Tymchenko said on television on Thursday.
The number may still increase
Interior Ministry spokeswoman Mariana Rewa told the AFP news agency that the statistics included people who had not been heard from “in connection with the hostilities”, including in areas occupied by the Russian army. This preliminary balance only affects Ukrainians whose data “can be officially verified,” Rewa points out. So the number could increase.
According to recent estimates by The New York Times, 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed and up to 200,000 were injured during the war. The newspaper refers to anonymous sources from the US government. The Russian loss figure is estimated at much higher: 120,000 dead and up to 180,000 injured. Ukraine does not provide information on the total number of military casualties; the number of civilian casualties is announced daily.
